Israeli film director Micha X. Peled recently produced and directed the film China Blue, a real-life story of Jasmine, a 17-year-old factory worker in China. Jasmine labors long, grueling hours each day making blue jeans for American companies. She is paid very little and working conditions are harsh and dangerous. As Peled's film follows the lives of Jasmine and her friends, it sheds light not only on the reality of exploitation and slave labor, but on the humanity of the workers.
